    You can literally go download the game in its current state right now, and fly around your $30 spaceship. I last checked in ~4 years ago and it was insanely impressive what they’ve done.

      Last time I checked, about a year ago, things were still unfinished in the starting city, and the game was unoptimized and crashed often. Super impressive. /s

      They do just enough to fend off any serious allegations of fraud.

      The fact you haven’t felt compelled to check in 4 years says everything.

        I haven’t checked in 4 years because I only invested $25 year 1 lmao. I don’t know about you, but spending $25 knowing it has a chance to faiI, or be an out right scam, isn’t something I worry about in the slightest. I l have not the slightest idea if they’ll ever pull it off, either. Until I see some article that’s like “New SC update releases much anticipated mechanic, and is a major milestone reached.” Mind you I don’t subscribe to anything strictly SC.

        Other than that I’ll see it on Twitch every few months and tune in, and those are usually a massive group doing planned content. Like a 50v50 battle at some base on a planet, with tanks, ships, fps shooting, etc. It’s always impressive to see the scale and capabilities of the game that way.
